I finally made it to CHINA!!! Or did I?
After Kyrgyzstan I visited the Xinjiang Province. While traveling here, a question constantly popped up in my head. Is this China? That\'s why decided to make this video a little bit different.
If you find any mistakes in my little research let me know.
The Dead Animal Timecodes
From 02:11 - 02:14
And 04:05 - 04:18 (This is followed by footage from the life stock market until 04:59)
After crossing the border I first visited Kashgar, from there I headed to Urumqi from where I left for Tuerpan. Unfortunately I had to go to Shanghai, so I couldn\'t see as much of Xinjiang as I wanted to. But I also wasn\'t well prepared tbh...
But if you want to travel there, check out

A big thank you to everybody who let me awkwardly film them :)
Filmed handheld with the Panasonic G80/G81/G85 and the iPhone 6.
The long Road (TlR) is a journey from Germany all the way to Nepal, through the middle east, following the old silk road, China and South-East Asia. The whole journey will be overland (no planes, UFOs or portals) and put together into short videos on this channel :)

On The Listening Post this week: A two-part special on media in China: Under-reporting of the state\'s treatment of Uighur Muslims, and the tale of the Southern Media Group.
Xinjiang: The story Beijing doesn\'t want reported
The alleged mass incarceration of Uighur and other Turkic Muslim minorities - more than a million of them - in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region is a story the Chinese government does not want out there.
For foreign journalists, reporting on it could mean a one-way ticket out of the country. Chinese journalists reporting on it have it worse: they are facing threats, violence and in some cases prison sentences.
The Chinese media echo their government\'s security narrative on this; that the measures are necessary given separatist movements in the area prone to violence.
And the terminology can be telling. What the international media call \"internment camps\" and \"forced indoctrination\", the Chinese media describe as \"political education centres\" and \"counter extremism training schools\".

The BBC has new evidence that China is building a vast network of internment camps for its Muslim population in the western region of Xinjiang. Experts say one facility we’ve identified could be one of the biggest detention centres in the world.
It\'s thought as many as a million Muslims from the Uighur community are being held without trial in Xinjiang. China denies the claims, saying it has a programme of “vocational training centres” - needed to combat the threat of terrorism.
But the BBC has seen analysis that suggests the number of secure, prison-like facilities in the area has more than doubled in the past two years.
Accounts of life for individuals inside these places tell of abuse and humiliation. Our China correspondent John Sudworth reports from a part of the country where journalists are often prevented from filming.
